Grazing Rabbits

hown next is an 8 Grazing Rabbits pitcher. Unusual is the use of different borders on the neck and
shoulder of this piece. Not only are these borders different from the patterns standard border, but the use of two
different designs on the same piece is also quite uncommon. The shoulder border is a repeating floral pattern that
includes leaves with a saw-like edge and flower heads.
The border around the neck or collar has stylised flowers
and vignettes of chinoiserie scenes. This particular border pattern has been noted before on a Willow pattern
pitcher. The quality of printing and colour is more along
the lines of those seen on the mugs and pitchers, rather
than that the better quality dinner wares. Has anyone else
seen either of these borders before? And if so, what patterns and shapes were they associated with?

he creamer is 5.5 long and is definitely too small and the wrong
shape, to be a sauce boat. The coffee
or chocolate pot stands 9 tall. It has
no lid, but is a very distinctive shape.
When viewed from the spout side, it
has a very narrow profile. The body
has moulded panels with arches and
columns that are very architectural in
their design. This pot is a high-quality
piece and the creamer is slightly less
so. Both pieces are unmarked.
